Free learning resources

This website is established and maintained by the Institute for Materials Science for collection of LANL-wide online learning resources.  This is a work in progress.  We encourage your comments and suggestions at kshea@lanl.gov.  Below, we hope you find resources that will assist those working from home or exploring other learning avenues.  Note that we try to cite resources that can be viewed at no cost.

Lots of online lectures are available on youtube including university courses and commercial software tutorials (in most cases you can download trial versions of the commercial software). Below, you will find some of the best examples of these resources. As we strive to provide the best opportunities for you, we welcome your feedback on which of these resources you did and did not like, or if there is anything you think we should add.
